Eastside Youth Speak Out -- What is Culture?

Where I'm From
By: Raymundo

I am from Mexico. It is very hot but at night it gets hella cold. Everything is cheap and lot of people is poor. Mexico has lots of girls and they are pretty fine. I have two grandpas and two grandmas that live there. I used to visit them every year. I can still remember the house. I also used to ride a horse.


What I like
By: Luis

Hello my name is Luis. I was born in Michucan, Mexico. I think Halloween is better in Mexico because you make parties not going door to door at night. I think that the food is better because thereีs no Burger King or MacDonald's. There's only Mexican food like enchiladas and tortas and the chips are popular over there. There are also very cool arcades that are why I like Mexico


Who I am

Cambodians are cool. They filmed a movie Tomb Raider there and Angelina Joile adopted a kid from over there. They eat different types of foods and sweets which lots of people like. They eat weird things such as pig stomach. I eat pig stomach with lots of vegs. The thing I am most proud of is they are different by their language, food, dress, actions and all kinds of stuff. They pray a lot. My uncle is a monk. They burned my great granny and sent her too Cambodia. I cried, I don't know why I cried but I know that she is watching me. My uncle was wrapped with cloth that was orange during the funeral. My granny and grandpa died during the war.


Skull/The Beginning
By: Fabian Gonzalez

There was once a boy named Sam Tooch. He was walking through his hood and he saw three tall kids picking on a little boy. They threw him in a dumpster.

Sam went to help the little boy in the dumpster because he felt sorry for the little boy. The three tall kids were actually gangsters. They saw Sam run to his house so they ran after him to catch him. When they caught Sam they took him to their hood and they wet Sam with gasoline. The tallest kid lit a lighter and burned Sam's body. His soul started glowing and came to the three kids and started beating the life out of them. Sam's soul looked like a skeleton with wings and his name is now the Skull and he lives.


The Skull/The revenge
By: Fabian Gonzalez

Since the creation of The Skull the punks that jumped him were hanging out. They were getting ready for a dance at their school. The Skull was always waiting for his revenge and tonight was the night that he was going to get it. So the punks got in their low rider with flames. They drove to the dance. The Skull got ready to fly and follow the danger that was in front of him. When the punks got to the school there was a party in the back of the hall. They got out of their car and walked towards the hall. The Skull was still flying then he landed on the floor and followed them.

The Skull hid in the shadows. As the punks were walking inside the hall the last punk got caught by the Skull. The Skull dragged him into the shadows and the punk was screaming. The Skull was laughing with a grin. The Skull discovered he could disguise himself like another person so he disguised himself as a girl to drag them into the dark to kill them. So he went inside the hall and was looking for the last two punks. When he found them he dragged the tallest one into the shadows in a room and sliced him into pieces. The last punk was in real fear so the Skull picked him up and banged his head against the wall. The punk landed on his head and cracked his neck and died. The Skull laughed and flew out of the hall and waited on the roof to leave from the sunset.

El Caminito
By Adilene Villalobos
Art By Tomas Batista

This morning I woke up and got ready for school. On my way to go get the city bus all the time I have to pass through "El Caminito ." It is a short cut to catch the bus that enters to the freeway. Well I was walking through there all alone because my friend was sick today. As I was walking I heard a sound like someone was there.

Then I turned around and I saw a dog and someone was with him it was some women. I think she was homeless because she was under a bush with a lot of ugly stuff. She said hello and I was going to run because I got scared but I didn't I just kept walking fast. I got hella scared and if I see her again I will try and go with someone through "El Caminito."


Walking Home

When I go walking I see people making up or fighting with each other. I know that because I see them kissing and then fighting. I see them standing on the corner. I always see condoms on the floor.

Hero
By: Kamal Nagra

When I was barely learning how to swim and I got the hang of it all of the sudden my sister started drowning and I had to save her. I jumped into the water and pulled her to safety. I was on the diving board and she slipped in. I had to jump off the diving board to save her. I was a girl hero to her.
